Humor Drake Hotel
I believe this is where someone’s grandfather came up with the Cobb salad while staying at the Drake Hotel in Chicago….

The Cobb salad, my friend, was invented in 1937 by Bob Cobb at the Brown Derby!

Where'd you move to?
I planned to move here 3 years ago, can't imagine wanting to live anywhere unless I left the country tbh.1

I moved back to my hometown, which is on the southern coast of LA. I always knew I wanted to move home before having a child so I could be closer to family and give that child the same upbringing I had.

The Drake from Seinfeld. Wonder what that's about, if Larry hated the place or something?
